It all started back in May 2010. On a dare (sort of!) we bought a top-bar hive from Backyardhive.com, in Colorado. It was a miracle hive to say the least! We baited it with a “bee lure” and within four days a colony moved in. Within a couple of days they were busy building comb and the mysterious and as yet unseen queen was laying eggs.

The fun part of this hive is the window! We put a seat next to it so we could watch them and love them all the more!
